Oh I am definitely in love. But I don’t believe in love at first sight, but I stand by love at first encounter.
Why? Many reasons, mainly because you can’t just really love someone by looking at them. I mean, doesn’t that connect back to judging? Exactly. Love takes time to grow. You can look at some person and have a feeling that you love them, but it’s not real love. You don’t even know the person, they’re just another face in the crowd that caught your attention.
Okay, let’s call her Lisa (a temporary name for her), she is 1.68cm tall - around that height. She were standing next to the door, as the MRT was going to arrive in a few seconds. I looked at her, and for some reason had a feeling, a feeling I have had before, one that I have not felt in such a long time. Hours pass and I imagine: After I aboard, she drop something while making her way to a seat nearby. I pick it up and pass it to her.
“Hey” I say,
“Do you have a minute?”
She respond to me, and I hear her sweet voice for the first time. “Yeah sure.” I ask her for her name and I hear her sweet voice once again. An awkward silence fills the air, and I marvel the sight of her in front of me, face to face. My eyes start to drop, darken, and my face turns depressed.
"Lisa can I see your hand for a moment?” I say.
She reach out my hand, and I take it, admiring the soft touch of her skin. I give her the bracelet I bought, pink and blue, with a heart in the middle.
“Lisa, I hope you know you are pretty.” She look at me awkwardly, surprised.
“I hope you have a good day today.” I say.
Then I look at her for one last time before reaching the MacPherson station, and I walk. I walk away, not looking back, knowing that she know, knowing that I will never. I imagine this, and I always will.
As of right now, I do not know where she is but I hope she is having a great day. Maybe it was not love at first sight, maybe.. I just happened to bump into her.
Love at first sight.. If it truly exists, does it for women/girls? Because it seems they fall in love at first sight so many times! But when it comes to men/guys, it happens beautifully. I really doubt it. You can’t fall in love with someone without getting to know them. But, I met this girl hours ago. A brief, awkward situation, that’s all we had. I actually mistook her for my friend at first. Since then, she’s always been in the back of my head. I don’t even remember what she looks like. All I remember is the feeling I got, that she was the “100% perfect girl” for me. Yes, you can laugh at me now.
I guess this is what love at first sight means. I adore this girl so much. There’s always so fascinating about how a girl can flip her hair or move her head down to the tip of her toes.. How she can manage to still look peaceful even after waking up from a bad dream.. How a girl can always remind you to respect her even if she has no clothes on.
She takes the most magical photos ever and her self-portraits are an inspiration.
Oh, gosh. How I love girls.
Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?
